Olympic hero Mo Farah has shown off the newborn twins who inspired him to
double gold-winning victory - and finally revealed their names.

The long distance runner, who brought joy to the nation with his triumphs in the 5,000m and 10,000m finals, has called the pair Aisha and Amani.

As he and wife Tania were photographed with the infants for the first time, he joked that one of the girls was named in a bid to win favour with designer firm Armani.

Farah told a magazine: "We wanted some free stuff from Armani." But he went on to explain that they wanted Muslim names beginning with the same initial.

Tania, 26, added: "Twin one, the eldest, is Aisha. Twin two is Amani."

The couple believe the youngsters have inherited their track star father's long limbs. They said that Farah was the first to hold the girls - with Aisha weighing in at 5lb 2oz, and Amani, 4lb 4oz - after he cut the umbilical cord.
